This interview is part of Andrea Schuller's work in creating 'COS' which stands for Challenging Organizations & Society. The purpose of COS is to create and offer a unique space for learning, transformation and generative collaboration at three inextricably linked levels: individual, organizational and collective or societal.

In May 2017 Dr. Stephen Gilligan is presenting a workshop in Vienna, on 'Somatic Intelligence in High Performance Teams' and this interview discusses the workshop and Stephen's and Andrea's work.

Growing as a team and in team performance through only cognitive interventions is like swimming without water: it gets very dry …!

High Team Performance in terms of generating new results, human excellence and following the ecologies of mind, body and soul demands mindful perception and action on multiple levels. Somatics is based on the understanding that the spirit, mind, body, self and rationality are inextricably linked; to grow one, you must cultivate the others. Creatively performing from all these sources as individual AND as a team is the purpose of this newly created experiential workshop. Through cutting edge methodology, integrating Generative Change Work, Somatics and Generative Group Dynamics, you go on an experiential learning journey on the interface of individual and collective self.
